Broken Book 2: Lucy's Return

Chapter 17

Lucy laid curled up Natsu liked a kitten, while all the furniture in the house was smashed to bits. pieces of wood, glass and wet spots were everywhere. "Natsu." Luke growled angrily. Natsu quickly woke up and panicked when he saw the angry Luke storming towards him, but before he could react Lucy jumped up and began growling at him. She had returned to normal except for retaining her golden eye. "Lucy? Lucy it's me Luke, don't you recognize me?" he put his hands up in surrender. She growled louder and stood defensively in front of Natsu. "I'm not gonna hurt him. Even though I would really, REALLY, like to throttle the life out him. I won't touch him, I promise." she growled softer, but climbed into Natsu's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is this a side effect of the mating bond?" Erza asked, while examing Lucy's collarbone. "She appears to be physically back her usual self, actually she looks even healthier than before." she smiled. "That's due to the bond, naturally as Lucy was unstable and physically unwell, the magic of the bond converted Natsu's magic and helped her heal and revitalize." Natsu looked at the Master confused. "So what you're saying is Luce is all better now right?" Lucy snuggled her face into Natsu's neck causing him to blush. "There's definitely an unknown side effect going on here, we should take her to the guild for a check up, and to see if Levy has heard anything about it." Luke concluded. Natsu scooped Lucy up and carried her out of the house and she snuggled even deeper into his chest. They stepped through the guild doors and were met by the concerned stares of their guild mates, all concerned if Lucy had been brought back. Juvia was the first to approach "Natsu is she-" Lucy turned her head quickly and jumped out of Natsu's arms. "NO! Natsu is mine!" She yelled. "Love Rival!" She growled fiercely. The guild immediately fell into confusion while Gray pulled Juvia away from Lucy. She huffed and puffed until she was completely on the opposite side of the guild. Then smiled triumphantly before wrapped herself around Natsu once more. "Lucy nobody here wants to take Natsu from you.' Mira smiled. "Especially not Juvia." Juvia cried clinging desperately to Gray. Erza walked over to Levy and explained the situation while Wendy began an exam. "Hmm I can't say I have, but I can I have several dragon slayer books I can look into." "Physically Lucy is back to her normal self, her magic levels are a bit higher but she is completely healthy. As for her eye, I think it's a permanent result go her seal having been broken." Wendy said as she approached the girls. By now the whole guild was approaching and examining Lucy. Happy that their guild mate was finally home.
